Duracak

Duracak is a Turkish verb form derived from the verb durmak, meaning to stop or halt. It expresses that the action of stopping will occur in the future and can function as a finite predicate with the subject implied by conjugation.

Formation and forms: The future tense in Turkish is formed by adding the suffix -acak or -ecek to the verb stem, with vowel harmony guiding the choice. For durmak, the stem is dur-, so the base future form is duracak for third-person singular. By adding personal endings, other persons are formed: duracağım (I will stop), duracaksın (you will stop), duracak (he/she/it will stop), duracağız (we will stop), duracaksınız (you all will stop), duracaklar (they will stop).

Usage: Duracak is used to state planned actions, scheduled events, or predictions about the near or distant future. It can appear without an explicit subject when the context provides it, and its meaning changes with the attached person endings (e.g., I will stop vs. you will stop). The negative form is durmayacak, and questions can be formed with Duracak mı? or by specifying the subject, as in O duracak mı? (Will he/she/it stop?).

Notes: Duracak is one word that encapsulates the future aspect of durmak. Related topics include the verb durmak (to stop) and the broader Turkish system of verb conjugation and vowel harmony in forming future tenses.
